1. How do you apply the truth and compassion in your daily life?

Truth communicated without compassion can undoubtedly be frightful. Compassion

communicated without genuineness gets hallucinating. At last to make a more advantageous
world, truth should be gotten together with empathy while relating with ourselves just as with
others. You probably have heard others professing to be simply 'coming clean,' when truly they
are utilizing reality as a weapon to hurt us or another person. Truth is significant; however we
should be aware of why and how we express something that might be pernicious to another.
Truth and Compassion are significant qualities that now and again may pull in various ways. I
apply truth and compassion by recognizing that my truth comes from my own experience, and
that is different from others, so they are entitled to their own truth. What seems true to me
doesn’t mean it’s true to everyone. In times that I say my own truth, I always start by saying “In
my own experience” or “In my own opinion”. Especially if the truth I am saying is controversial,
this approach eases the impact of what I say. In a discussion, I would then inquire as to whether
the individual has had comparative encounters or perceptions. This makes the way for building
up a mutual comprehension. I attempt to stay open to adjusting my perspective dependent on
new data or things I have not by and by experienced. On the off chance that I find that my
discussion accomplice isn't looking for shared comprehension, demanding that I embrace their
perspectives, I end the discussion unexpectedly by then. Examining things with somebody who
demands being correct is inconsequential. In the event that I am introducing data with the end
goal that the beneficiary won't have the chance to react, I attempt to consider what conditions
would make my fact mistaken. Once more, I may express this unequivocally: "This is
presumably off-base when … " Being loving and compassionate means we are happy to
recognize the other's point of view. Regardless of whether we disagree with it, we can regard
their perspectives and the reasons they created them.

2. Aside from being true and compassionate, what characteristics should we have to have a better
or peaceful life? Why?

Aside from being true and compassionate, the characteristic that we should have to live a better
or peaceful life is by meditating on God’s word daily. We cannot live a one-hundred percent
peaceful life, but we can live less stressful than others if we daily meditate on God’s word
because we can learn everything in the bible. There are many characteristics to live a peaceful
life and it will be too many to mention, so if someone wants to know it all, he/she may find it on
the bible. For example, to live a peaceful life we should learn how to forgive. Forgiveness is not
for the weak, it is for the strong. It is a state of maturity. Imagine sleeping with resentment in
your heart and waking up with anger because of the person you can’t forgive, while that person
is living his life to the fullest. Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting. Absence of greed is also a
characteristic that may help us live a peaceful life. A person will never have a peaceful life is he/
she is looking at someone else’s life. We should be contented on what we have and not desire for
what others have. Remember, what you have now is something that others do not have. Always
appreciate on what you have because you may not know if you will still have it tomorrow.
Gentleness will also help us live a peaceful life. We should always talk gently because we do not
know if the person we are speaking to is currently having a problem. Anger is not the solution to
your problems; it will only make it worse. Be gentle because when we are filled with gentleness,
we will correct others with easiness instead of arguing in resentment, knowing that their
salvation is far more important than our pride.
